Analysis of Impact of Electric Vehicles on Distribution Grid Using Survey Data

Electric vehicles are more environmentally friendly and lower fuel costs than conventional vehicles. Thanks to these advantages, their numbers have increased rapidly in recent years and it is thought that they will be used more in the future so the power demanded from the electricity grid will increase. If electricity distribution companies and energy producing companies do not take the necessary precautions, they will not be able to provide quality service to users in the following years. Therefore, the effects of electric vehicles on the electricity distribution system should be examined. In this study, a survey was applied to a working group of 50 people. This survey was analyzed and daily travel information was modeled. Statistical home arrival time, work arrival time and daily trip distance curves were formed. Charging loads were calculated by converting the obtained model to daily charging model of electric vehicles.
